Abstract

PURPOSE:To form a film of uniform thickness on a substrate wafer and to automate it by securing a ringlike jig to a post, so disposing the wafer that the surface of the wafer is brought into contact with the jig, and vapor growing it in a reaction tube. CONSTITUTION:A ringlike jig 13 is secured to the groove 12 of a post 11, and one or two wafers 14 are so supported to the grooves 14 of the post as for the surface of the wafer to face the jig. In this case, the material of the jig to be used is not particularly limited if it is heat resistant, and preferably includes heat resistant materials such as, for example, silicon carbide SiC, alumina Al2O3, ceramics, etc. The thus supported wafer is formed by a normal method with a thin film, such as an oxide film, a nitride film, etc. Thus, since the edge of the wafer is cooled and the decomposition of reaction gas on the boundary of the periphery of the wafer is suppressed, a uniform thin film can be formed on the wafer even if it is used at the time of forming a film which becomes extremely thick at the periphery.

As such a reduced pressure vapor phase growth apparatus,
As shown in FIG. 13, a heater 2 is arranged outside a long and narrow reaction tube l arranged horizontally, a large number of substrate wafers 3 are placed upright in a wafer boat 4 inside the reaction tube 1, and the reaction tube A horizontal reduced pressure vapor phase growth apparatus that causes gas to flow as shown by the arrow from the gas inlet 5 of the connecting flange and discharges the gas from the outlet 6, and a reaction tube arranged vertically as shown in Fig. 14. Heater 2' is arranged outside of 1',
A large number of substrate wafers 3' are horizontally mounted in the wafer port 4' in the reaction tube l', and the gas is undulated from the inlet 5' at the top or bottom of the reaction tube as shown by the arrow, and the gas is discharged from the outlet 6'. Vertical low-pressure vapor phase growth apparatuses that emit becomes thicker,
It was difficult to make the film thickness uniform. In order to overcome these drawbacks, the port is formed into a cylindrical shape with a large number of holes. However, this cylindrical port (called a cage port in the product name) is formed in two parts.

Open this port in two to put in and take out wafers,
This is done by holding the wafers one by one with tweezers.
This method has poor work efficiency, cannot be automated, and has problems such as dust generated when opening the port and adhering to the wafer.This invention aims to solve these problems at once. The purpose of this method is to provide a low-pressure vapor phase growth method that can form a uniform film thickness on a wafer and can be automated. The structure of the present invention that meets the above object is to fix a ring-shaped jig to a support, arrange the substrate wafer so that the surface of the substrate wafer faces the ring-shaped jig, and perform vapor phase growth in a reaction tube. This is the summary.

The reason for the effect of the present invention is that in the conventional method, the gas did not diffuse uniformly to the center of the wafer, resulting in a wafer with thick edges. It is believed that by facing the wafer, the temperature at the edge is lowered and a uniform thin film is formed on the wafer.

``Effects of the Invention'' As described above, according to the present invention, the wafer surface is grown in a vapor phase while facing the ring-shaped jig, so the edge portion of the wafer is cooled and the interface around the wafer is cooled. Since the decomposition of the reactive gas is suppressed, a uniform thin film can be formed on the wafer even if it is used to form a film that is extremely thick at the periphery. Furthermore, if a wafer supporting protrusion is formed on the top surface of the ring-shaped jig, wafers can be loaded and unloaded automatically, improving productivity.
